Time Enough Yet to En-
ter Race
Those who are rustling subscriptions have not yet coverd enough terri-
tory to count, so those who will yet enter the contest will have a fine
chance. Don t stay out of the race just because you did not start at first.
The premiums we offer are something worth rustling for and we were
anxious for about twenty rustling contestants to get into the race. Of
course all understand that our object in putting up such costly premiums is
to streatch the circulation of the paper over the entire Carbon territory,
which should be easily done by only a little effort by a number of ladies.
The paper is well worth the price asked for it and so far it has been no
trouble for the solicitors to get subscriptions.

$45.00 Bed Room Suit
$40.00 Life SchoUarship
Bookkeeping Department. Abilene Business College
